Way before anyone else, Stockholm based stylist and essentialist Linn Hägglund kept a fashion blog. After a few years of blogging, she said bye bye to her online personal platform and started focusing on her thus far very successful career as a stylist. She works for magazines such as Note Magazine and Elin Kling’s Styleby and for brands like Filippa K and Little Liffner. In short, Linn is one hell of a stylish lady. Time for a style talk.

I was planning on biking throughout New York Fashion Week, but the day I wore this blue almost mermaid-esque skirt that obviously didn’t happen. I (in)conveniently got a flat tire the day before, so it was a good excuse to get this blue darling out on the street.

I can make this a super long story, but instead I am keeping it short for these shorts. I was looking for a pair of more decent looking shorts than the old vintage Levi’s pair that I had been wearing for ages and was literally falling apart (which is a good sign, because I obviously got enough wearing sessions out of it).

It took me a while to get used to the shape and length of these pants, but lately I have been wearing them in a row/constantly/day after day. In Dutch we call them broekrokken, which can be freely translated to pantskirts. And after Googling just now I found out pantskirts is an official word too. Makes total sense, since it kind of really covers what culottes are all about. It’s a pair of pants, disguised as a skirt. Or a skirt, with the comfortableness of pants.

If I had to pick one, August would probably be my favorite of months (even though it means summer is almost over), especially now that I am spending more than half of it in a Soho apartment in New York. I guess spending three months in Los Angeles last winter got my urge to travel tickling. So how did New York happen?

Woah, it’s full on summer in Amsterdam and even though I am sweating my *ss off some days trying to run too many errands in one day (or painting a boat, how random?) with 25 plus degrees, I couldn’t be happier.

Yep, that’s a skirt! A ruched skirt to be exact. It’s becoming a little less of a rare sight seeing me wearing a skirt and I am even eyeing a python printed yellow stunner (on sale!) at the moment. Oh, and an over the knee fluted hem skirt. Not sure if that’s going to happen though, since I have to find a way to justifiably squeeze (one of) them into my 5 Piece French Wardrobe system first.

I believe I mentioned it before, but every summer my go-to color (black, duh!) changes into blue. Navy blue that is. Not really your typical summer hue, but it feels just a hint bit fresher than black AND goes with everything (too). Easily lazy you could say, but for me – usually hooked on black – it’s always a big transformation. Especially when there’s not even a small trace of black to be spotted in the rest of my ensemble.
